Before, Taylor Harper is finally popular, sitting with the cool kids at lunch, and maybe, just maybe, getting invited to the biggest, most exclusive party of the year. After, no one talks to her. Before, she’s friends with Brielle Branson, the coolest girl in school. After, Brielle has become a bully, and Taylor’s her favorite target. Before, home isn’t perfect, but at least her family is together. After, Mom won’t get out of bed, Dad won’t stop yelling, and Eli... Eli’s gone. Through everything, Taylor has her notebook, a diary of the year that one fatal accident tears her life apart. In entries alternating between the first and second semester of her eighth-grade year, she navigates joy and grief, gain and loss, hope and depression. How can Taylor pick up the pieces of what used to be her social life? How can her house ever feel like home again after everything that’s happened? And how can she move forward if she can’t stop looking back? An Imprint Book "Powerful... A resonant look at coming-of-age." —Kirkus Reviews A Junior Library Guild Selection

When a selkie’s Coat trades white for silver and black, it’s time to enter adulthood. They do this by roaming the ocean alone for two years – just them, an eternity of saltwater, and mortality staring them in the face. Ten percent of them die. The other ninety percent learn some heard truths about who they are, and which parts of themselves aren’t worth sacrificing to survive. Brielle is a week into hers when she finds a merman on the continental shelf. He’s weird and dying; she’s bored. So even though he’s quadruple her size – and despite centuries of their respective species fighting like seagulls at a picnic – she decides to help. Then sharks try to eat them both, Brielle gets kidnapped, the merman might not be a merman at all, and the Vedava – a race of demons that were stopped last time at the cost of the pantheon’s strongest goddess – have escaped to poison the ocean anew.

From the author of the Faith, Love & Devotion series, Tere Michaels embarks on an adventure of magical realism and romantic comedy in a new mixed couple series. Baker Annalee Martelli is not a Holiday PersonTM. A family feud and a contentious divorce make the holiday insistence on family togetherness depressing, and she much prefers hiding away from humanity in the kitchen of the tiny NYC bakery where she works. If that wasn’t enough to make her grind her teeth in November, her boss suddenly goes MIA after a “quick weekend trip” to her quaint hometown upstate turns into weeks of unanswered calls and emails. With the crazy holiday rush approaching, Annalee girds her loins and heads to Pine Lake to find her boss and save her job. While avoiding getting nature on her boots.

Permanently. He helps run his parents’ hotel and dreams of a life that doesn’t involve so many trees (he has allergies) and achieving the happiness everyone else seems to find in Pine Lake. Annalee and Cam both have good reason to want out of Pine Lake. When a series of events drops a world of possibilities in their laps, it seems to be time to take a leap of faith. Can a grumpy city girl and a charming master of hospitality make their dreams come true together? (But not like...together together. Right?) Pine Lake has one rule - Fall in Love. Or Else.
